A GLEANER
By Frank Walcott flutt .
A-down the greater field they fare,1;
All day, ail day, with toil and song
The reapers in life's larger share,
, The many and the strong. '
And everywhere the harvestnieh,
Atonic their Autumn-vestod way ,
From vulley-farm and pasture-glen
Bear forth their aheavea today.
But cd a quiet garden path
Where oome the reapers nevermore,
My soul a gleaner's reason hath
' To seek a lesser store. ,
For I would find dim memories
' In appie row and oluver-laue.
Beneatn the warped and broken trees,
With summer far a-wane
lliey elo.-p beneath the silent hill
Who kept, erewhile, these, bouada
from harm;
Vet, thoughts of mine are roving, still,
Their lorn and lowlv farm.
And tbnoe they bear, at aet of sun,
All down the paths of gray and gold
Sheaves from fur recollections won,
I Remembrancers of old.
PULP INDUSTRY FEASABLE
The making of pulp from for
psttrees is a corapar.i'ively new
industry, but is a p .ing one.
In 1880 there wee 742 paper
and wood oalubli anents in the
United Slates with an aggregate
capital of $48,139,652 that gave
employment that year to an ave
rage of 25,631 wage earners to
whom were paid as wages $8,-
970,133. They paid for material
usd $34,862,132, aud turned out
products to the value of $57,866.
860 in 0880.
Since 1897 under the Dingley
act there has beeu a tariff of one
twelvth of one cent a pound on
pulp wood for paper making im
ported into the United States yet
spite of the tariff the American
factories have not supplied the
demand, aud for the 8 months
ending with August 1904 there
were 94,316 tons of wood pulp
imported into the United States
valued at the ports from which
exported at $2,434,509 of this
pulp 5,968 to:i s were imported
from Germany valued there at
$271,417 or $45.48 a ton; 20,846
tons came from other European
countries valuod there at $867,
042 aud 67,502 tons from Biitish
North America valued at $1,608..
047.
Notwithstanding the importa
tions thepulp industry grew aud
iu' 1900 there were 763 paper
aud wood pulp establishment
iu tho United States operating
on a capital of $167,507,713 and !
that year gave employment to
49,646 wage earners to whom
they paid as wages $20,746,426 1
an average of $419.90. There'
was paid out in 1900 by thepulp'
factories $70,530,236 for mate- 1
rial aud a product, turned out1
valued at $127,320,162. j
The above figures show that
the wood pulp industry in the'
United States increased its capi- l
tal in twentyyeare by $119,366,
061 the number of its employees'
by 24,015, paid out $21,876,293
more for wages in 1900 than in
J 880, expended for material $36,-
708.104 more in law man in
l8S() lurneJ out 169,869,-
,302 more product than twenty
M bef0M from whicn- it ie
, . . .
apparent mat mailing puip irom
logs to be used in paper making
is a growing and thrifty busi
uess The Willamette Palp and
Paper Company at Oregon City
iu this state has been operating
for a number of years and ' we
learn that this year, 1904, it has
expended $500,000 iu improve
ments, increased its saw mills to
a capacity of 160,000 .per day ana
increased its grinders from 19 to
60.
The purpose1 of (this article i
to suggest to the people of Union
County the feasibility of estab
lishing a pulp factory some
where within "our border, we
certainly have- the power, now
unused, in our river and nu-
merous creeks, that flow through
groves of colten wood and . be
tween hills and mountain slopes
that aro oovered with forests,-
The Observer believes that a
push' similar to the one that
brought the sugar factory' here
will result in the coming of a
pulp faetoiy that' will give ' con
stant' employment to four or'
five hundred wage earners and
distribute among our1 people
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually for material.
There are some owners" of
horses in this vicinity wlioTare
certainly devoid of all kindly
feeling or self respect: OecasiOn-
aly we see horses drawing heavy
loads while so lame that" the
are hardly' in proper condition
to even walk let alone pall any
part of a load.' A driver who
would work a' horse which is'
evidently in pain is but' little
better than a brute, and the
humane officers should take the
mutter up and see that the horse
is plaoed in better company.

How dear to my heart is the old-fashioned washboard
That mother used to wash on when I was a boy,
S With it cinc-oovered ridges the suds use, I to play in
And soap babbles gamboled to u.y ohildisli joy.
Ofttimes have I watched her whan wearing her knuckles.
S Aa over the ridges oof doda aba would rub,
I ne'er will forget how she avlasbed and she slatherep .
